12 Player Trade Blog

[Backtobanks]

Trade between SD and LAA mentioned in a fan's blog:

 

From Anaheim to San Diego go the following: Nick Adenhart, Dustin Moseley, Shane Loux, Kevin Jepsen, Erick Aybar, Freddy Sandoval, Matt Brown, Kendry Morales, Reggie Willits and Terry Evans.

 

From San Diego to Anaheim: Jake Peavy and Adrian Gonzalez.

 

The Padres get a new team, virtually, and the Angels have a powerhouse that causes tremors throughout the game.

 

Bud Black adds three starters (Moseley, Adenhart, Loux) while subtracing one. He gets a future closer in Jepsen. He gets a superlative shortstop in Aybar and a kid from Tijuana (Sandoval) who can play three infield positions and hit. He gets a quality corner infielder in Brown and a first baseman in Morales to replace Gonzalez. He gets an outfielder (Willits) who can play all three spots and will produce a 370-.380 on-base percentage and 40-50 steals leading off as an everyday player. And he gets a power hitter in Evans who can leave any yard.

 

Mike Scioscia gets one of the best pitchers alive in Peavy and a first baseman in Gonzalez who is very close to the equal of Mark Teixeira. The Angels still have plenty of quality reserves left over, owing to an astonishing stockpile of talent. Yes, they add payroll with Peavy and Gonzalez, but the long-term benefits are immense.

 

The Padres get almost 60 years worth of contracts at an immediate cost of roughly $4 million for the 2008 season. The Angels have Peavy and Gonzalez locked up for at least three more years apiece. This would not be a half-season of Teixeira.

 

Peavy gives the Angels the Majors' dominant rotation; Gonzalez is a No. 4 hitter who, free of PETCO Parks dimensions, hits about 40 homers and drives in close to 140 runs behind Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu and Vladimir Guerrero.

 

It would never happen, but it's interesting to speculate.

This has to be an Angels fan. That is a whole big package of "meh" going to the Padres.

that basiacally looks like every proposal we were making over the winter, only substitute our garbage with that of the Angels.

 

If Peavy were to head to Annaheim, believe, Jared Weaver would be invloved in the deal.

[Derwood]

the 40-man roster issues that both teams would face are mind-boggling.

[Cynosure]

WTF is this garbage?

 

10 for 2... lol!

I think he is an Angels fan, but the Padres would be getting quite a few top prospects. When a team trades a superstar (or two) for prospects, it always looks one-sided. Getting prospects is always a crapshoot because there are only a few "can't miss" prospects around. The Padres aren't going to be a decent team for the forseeable future with or without Peavy and/or Gonzalez. As I posted earlier, it will never happen.

I think most fans enjoy reading and speculating about "rumored" trades. That's why the offseason, trade deadline, message boards, and fantasy leagues are so popular.

Of course it's made by a Angel's fan, just read this line:

Even if they did get AGon and Peavy, I have a hard time believing they would be a "powerhouse that causes tremors throughout the game." With that said, I doubt the Padres trade him for that package.

i only read the blue text and not the black text and all my hope of peavy wearing pin stripes faded. but luckly i read on and now all i have to say is that a trade like that would never happin. didnt peavy really only want to go to chicago besides maybe atlanta?

I found it on the internet. If it was my trade idea there would be at least one more team involved. :lol: :lol: :lol:
